Angels recalled 1B/OF Ji-Man Choi from Triple-A Salt Lake.

Choi hasn't impressed this year but the Angels can afford to give him a look down the stretch now that rosters have been expanded. The 25-year-old from South Korea holds a .167 average with five homers in 102 at-bats for the Halos this year. Sep 3 - 4:45 PM

Choi has hit only .167/.265/.353 in the majors this season. He's no longer needed with C.J. Cron back from the disabled list. Aug 21 - 1:20 PM

Ji-Man Choi went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Sunday's loss to the Indians.

Choi launched a two-run home run off Trevor Bauer in the second inning. It was his fifth dinger of the season. His season, on the whole, has been underwhelming. Through 95 at-bats, the 25-year-old first baseman is hitting just .168/.273/.368. Aug 14 - 6:35 PM

Ji-Man Choi went 2-for-5 with two home runs and four RBI in an extra-innings loss to the Athletics on Thursday.

Choi hit a solo home run in the second inning and a three-run shot in the third, and he actually had a third robbed by Coco Crisp at the left field wall in the fifth inning as well. He doubled his home run total with the good night, giving him four homers and 10 RBI in 33 games. The 25-year-old is batting .182/.273/.390 on the year. Aug 5 - 12:01 AM

Albert Pujols underwent successful surgery on Friday to release his right plantar fascia.

The surgery was performed by Dr. Robert Anderson in North Carolina. The typical recovery time for this surgery is estimated at four months, which will impact his availability early in spring training as well as his regular off-season routine. This news should push Pujols down a couple of rounds in early fantasy drafts.

Angels manager Mike Scioscia said that the team will not overwork Garrett Richards (elbow) in 2017.

Richards underwent stem cell treatment for a tear in his ulnar collateral ligament in May, ending his season at that very early juncture. He is expected to be ready for spring training, but the Angels are going to be reasonably cautious as the season unfolds. Said Scioscia, "You’re not going to see Garrett throwing 220 innings next year. I hate to put a floor on (the innings) and have to get into a range right now, but I can tell you that we are going to be very, very careful with where Garrett is and make sure that he rebounds and maintains his stuff." Richards has pitched more than 170 innings just once in his big league career.

Cam Bedrosian underwent surgery Tuesday on the embolus in his right armpit.

Embolus is the scientific term for a blood clot. Bedrosian is expected to be able to resume full baseball activities in 6-8 weeks, so he should enter spring training next February at 100 percent health. The 24-year-old right-hander finished the 2016 season with a stellar 1.12 ERA and 51/14 K/BB ratio in 40 1/3 innings.
